Wow! You are really blazing along on this! I’ve never seen anyone repair a flasher unit before, that’s pretty cool! Every thing looks great! Nice new tag too! 😉

Very nice! It’s funny you said that, I used to have a pretty big top trunk on a Suzuki V-Strom that I used for commuting, and every time I took a photo from the rear, that trunk would look huge! 😄 It’s some kind of optical illusion.

We still haven’t seen your new bike. I think it’s a terrific motorcycle! 😉 Did you get the manual or automatic transmission?

If I read the pilots account correctly, there were still some skydivers in the plane who had yet to get out when the plane stalled. They must’ve been freaking out!

This is an absolutely amazing video, a group of skydivers exiting a Beechcraft C90 Kingair, caused the plane to go into a stall and spiral down. The pilot was experienced and recovered and the whole thing was captured on camera from the skydivers perspective. If you scroll down in the comments...

Holy Cow! I had no idea that jets were capable of that in 1958, I guess Starfighter was an appropriate name!

Oh for crying out loud! Here I thought you were just being funny, posting a photo of yourself. I didn’t realize that was road racing legend Paul Smart! 😃

That really is a great looking bike! 😉

When that project of yours gets going, I hope you start a thread on it, it’ll be interesting. And yes, sometimes it can be a little challenging getting parts ( especially used ones ) for those early bikes, but persistence wins the day! 😉

Well Rob, it looks like you have yourself a good blank canvas. Personally I’d just have some fun with it and not worry about keeping it original. Fast , fun and ( relatively ) cheap! 😉

That was my first thought as well, it has a very similar look.

Great bunch of photos Marty! I saw a bunch of bikes for the first time with these. Thanks for posting them! 😃

Sorry for the deception, too much idle time on my hands today. 😁

What he said, the offset box wrench is the ticket. You can buy an inexpensive set at Harbor Freight. They come in handy for all sorts of jobs! 😉

Maybe a more recognizable photo. :laughing:

Before he was famous….😄

This is not exactly an AI related comment but an observation on changing cultures. Yesterday my wife and I were out for breakfast at a local coffee shop, when a group of six young nurses from a nearby hospital came in , they all got something to eat and were sitting at the same table, but every...

Excellent comparison Raymond! And about what you would predict. I dug up these Dyno charts for both bikes. They really are similar, but you can see how much flatter and smoother the power delivery is on the Kawasaki, the torque curve also arrives at lower revs than the RE. As one would expect...

Wow! You’ve been way up there! That bucket list ride would be a real endurance test!

Don’t know who the owner is, but that is a ‘77 model. In the U.S. it came in two color schemes, dark blue and maroon.
